This volume presents the results of an extensive programme of archaeological excavation undertaken by Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd and Allen Archaeology Ltd from 2018 to 2019, where a total of 15 sites were excavated. The excavations uncovered a panoply of remains spanning the prehistoric through to modern periods, providing important insights into changing patterns of occupation and the way this diverse landscape was utilised.As evidenced through the archaeological works the area saw limited activity during the early prehistoric period, in part reflecting the prevailing environmental conditions in which most of the area was inundated. Among the earliest recorded finds was an enigmatic middle Bronze Age timber structure as well as a copper alloy axe.During the Roman period there is evidence for an expansion in activity across the Scheme, with formerly inundated areas becoming accessible. Activity within the northern half of the Scheme was focused upon salt production. Two of these sites were dated to the late Roman period, contrary to the prevailing notion that the salt industry in this region had declined by the mid-2nd century AD. Within the southern half of the Scheme were several Roman farmsteads, some featuring timber buildings. Notable among these was an unusual post-built, moated structure. From these sites a range of artefactual and environmental data was collected, providing important insights into the nature of agricultural regimes.Evidence of medieval and post-medieval activity was also uncovered, providing important insights into the development of rural settlement against a backdrop of landscape and environmental changes. Evidence of late to post-medieval clay extraction and brick manufacture was also identified....7192542From Coast to Fen: Archaeology in a Dynamic Landscape304422https://www.gandhi.com.mx/from-coast-to-fen--archaeology-in-a-dynamic-landscape-9798888571965/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/7204902/image.jpg?v=638854524075330000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20259798888571965_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9798888571965_Excavations across East Lincolnshire reveal prehistoric, Iron Age, Roman, and post-medieval settlements, saltmaking, and industrial activity, shaped by changing landscapes.The area between Anderby Creek and Bicker Fen, Lincolnshire, to the west of the Lincolnshire Wolds, represents a dynamic landscape both in terms of its natural and human aspects.
